What is a DM file?

The digital rights management DM files are usually created by the Sony Ericson DRM Packager. This utility is used by media developers to deliver their media content to Sony Ericson mobile devices.

The Paradaox software application also uses the .dm file suffix. These DM files contain data model files that are used by the Paradox software program.
